Thanks Larry,
Nothing says ‘swoosh’ quite like flames coming out of an MOC. If only the 5-stud
pieces were as plentiful as the flames.

Hmm.. I wonder if this trick of clamping flags inside dish pieces has any
other applications (other than greebling)? How sturdy is the construction?
|
I’m sure there must be other applications. I just can’t think of any at the
moment. The construction is actually quite sturdy. The flags fit snugly around
the 5-stud brick in 2 dimensions, but they tend to fall off in the other
dimension. The clamping action of the two 3x3 dishes keeps them from fallimg off
as well as preventing lateral movement by holding the clip ends in. The gap
between the dishes is one unit (ie. half a tile thick, ie. 1/16th”), which makes
this thing possible while limiting other applications. By all means, try this
one at home folks. (the exploded view is
here.)

1 - That was a given, by the way but it bears repeating.
|
Repeat when necessary.
| |
Also by the way, my supersecret 3CS creation uses 2 of these parts but I think
you’ll be hard pressed to find them.
|
Indeed. we might be a little less hard pressed if it weren’t so supersecret.
Peace and 4733s for all,
